The Naciente Quartet are three men from the south and one from the north. they came together in 2002 after having met the previous year at All Tomorrows Parties. Their love of all things jazzy, rockin' and rhythmical, threw them together to create something new and original.

The music they play is spikey, jazz tinged rock with intricate yet joyous rhythms and lush interweaving guitar harmonies. At ease with straight ahead rock or pulse like movement, throwing in influences from minimalism through to indigenous African musical composition, The Naciente Quartet thrill at every turn.

They have played some blistering gigs, setting the London avant-rock scene ablaze, playing with the likes of: Him, Billy Mahonie, Mice Parade, Hotchip, Need New Body and The Rakes. The Naciente Quartet have been a reliable act to draw in the crowds, and always leave them asking for more.
